The government closed a park that is under the NPS since it’s on federal land but it uses no federal money at all for staff or maintenance. The park hasn’t been closed in prior shutdowns. http://freebeacon.com/shutdown-theater/ Others have noted bizarre closings, such as the bus turnaround for George Washington’s home of MtVernon, which is a private domain and open during the shutdown, and barry-cading roads and trailheads in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for no purpose whatsoever. The presidency is often called a “bully pulpit” because of the power there, but this is true bullying. Obama is such a punk, isn’t he?
